Once again this week, it’s technically still Tuesday so I’m a bit late for the East Coasters, but hopefully this is worth it.
Tim Carter of AskTheBuilder.com said during the video panel at the last Affiliate Summit back in February that people go onto the internet for two reasons: to be entertained or to solve a problem. A great way to solve 80% of your business related questions is to go to LinkedIn Answers.
I haven’t had occasion to ask many questions since there are SO many useful questions in a variety of topics. In terms of business information that’s relevant to your working life, this tool kicks the crap out of Yahoo! Answers. This is targeted information in a really easy to find format. Unlike forums that can be filled with years of information out of context, LinkedIn Answers allows you to search for the information you need and find it fairly quickly.
Don’t take my word for it… go check it out! LinkedIn Answers. And remember if you’re an expert at something, share your wealth of knowledge and answer some questions too! Karma, people!

Really? Maybe it's because I'm not a superstar or have my email settings different, but I never get those. I just like the wealth of information that's there.
Honestly, I hate these things because I get so many “Do You Know Anyone That Can Fill This Job / Is Hiring” a week.
There was some potential there when the Questions thing launched, but it's overrun now.
All in all, LinkedIn is still dead to me:

It must be my email settings… I'm definitely not a superstar!!
